An R package "VariABEL" for genome-wide searching of potentially interacting loci by testing genotypic variance heterogeneity

An R package "VariABEL" for genome-wide searching of potentially interacting loci by testing genotypic variance heterogeneity

<p>Abstract</p> <p>Background</p> <p>Hundreds of new loci have been discovered by genome-wide association studies of human traits. These studies mostly focused on associations between single locus and a trait. Interactions between genes and between genes and environment...
